Anybody ever install software on their machine that wiped out the color
scheme?  I've got Windows 2000 Pro, SP2.  I installed a demo that barfed; it
tried to come up, didn't, and rebooted the computer.

After the computer came up, I noticed that the colors were different on
things like scroll bars and menus.  I went into the control panel and saw
that I was still at "Windows Standard", but that my colors were definitely
different. For instance, menus were white rather than gray.

I changed what I could, but some things are still screwed up.  For instance,
the background of my scrollbars is white rather than a really light gray,
and there's no place to change that particular attribute.  You can change
the SIZE of the scrollbar, but not the color, at least on my machine.

So, here are a few questions.

1. Anybody run into this before?
2. Where is Windows color scheme information stored?
3. Can you "restore" one of the preshipped schemes

and finally

4. Can somebody tell me how to fix my colors?!?!?  <grin>
